Episode 21- Why Yes, Alfie SHOULD Marry His Work Wife · The Treehouse Show Podcast

0:22
Welcome inside the treehouse once again. I'm Daniel Malley. I see Trey Trenholme.
0:30
Alfie, I rarely see because he doesn't he doesn't like to actually show
0:33
his face in the treehouse. He likes to go you know, the pure
0:35
audio, which is fine off. That's his prerogative. But Alfie, as
0:40
you can hear, is here in the treehouse as well. So welcome everyone,
0:44
Um alphail I can pick my notes and you guys hear my prick them
0:50
on North. I don't I don't understand why you feel the need to hide
0:53
that we've we've all spent you know, years together in a room. Yeah,
0:58
and we we've heard and seeing each other do things that most people don't
1:03
want to hear or see. I'm more I just I don't like interesting that
1:08
all of a sudden you've you've grown some sort of shame. It's not all
1:11
of a sudden. I've never ever liked any sort of like video chat,
1:15
video conferency call things, because then you gotta you gotta like prepare, you
1:19
gotta like as my hair combed is there is there a booger hanging off my
1:23
nose? You know it's you. I have a ant exactly things that you
1:30
shouldn't necessarily have to worry about when you're you know, you can't see me
1:33
from the waist down. I can't see Trey from the waist down, So
1:38
whether we're wearing pants or not doesn't really matter. I'm just saying that that
1:42
we've been in a small room together for years, so you know, if
1:49
you have a book hanging, there's no big deal. We'll just let you
1:51
know. Hey, man, you's got a little got a little something right
1:53
there. I just I don't like the video video face, timy zoom stuff.
1:57
Just don't care for it. I mean, like like that one time
2:00
that the RUSS called me. It was like Saturday evening, right, I
2:04
wasn't doing anything weird wrong, but he decides he wants to FaceTime, and
2:07
I'm like, nope, not a chance. I was. I was sitting
2:10
at home watching Kung Fu movies and clipping my tone nails. I'm not doing
2:16
anything like weird, out of the out of the ordinary. You know.
2:22
I just don't wanna, don't wanna have to face somebody now that I'm with
2:27
you. I don't like FaceTime. If someone if someone tries to call me
2:30
with FaceTime, chances are my phone will be hurled across the room. Yeah,
2:36
I'm with you, Like if I even see someone like just the FaceTime
2:40
coming up, like I can't hit and decline or turning my phone over fast
2:45
enough. This, I don't know why I don't mind, But then again,
2:50
I don't really like talking on the phone, and so talking seeing someone
2:54
talking on the phone is even worse. See, I don't mind talking on
2:58
the phone, but traded you do a lot of like zoom calls over the
3:02
past few years, Alphie. I am proud to say that I made it
3:07
through the pandemic and I never got on Zoom one time. Yeah, but
3:12
it's not the same. It's not like you had a corporate gig and you
3:15
were putting like you were putting a crash test dummy up there instead of yourself.
3:19
I mean, you worked, you worked, you worked at you worked
3:21
in the bar industry, where the zoom meeting thing isn't really much of a
3:24
much of a thing. Dan and I had like three, including the one
3:28
where we got fired. But does that count since out was actually post COVID
3:32
or you know, I don't know whatever. Zoom. Yeah, yeah,
3:38
I appreciated it. I preferred that because in that way, I didn't have
3:43
to drive fifteen minutes to the station and then tell me, hey, make
3:46
sure you bring your key card like I already knew what was gonna happen.
3:49
Just go ahead and drop the hammer virtually, let me get it, let
3:52
me get it out of the way in the morning, as opposed to you
3:54
calling me in. At least that way, I mean we knew we were
3:58
getting yeah, because were smart, but at least that way, it's you
4:01
know, they tried to leave a little mystery involved in it. So twenty
4:06
years from now, you're not complaining about having to drive to Greenville to get
4:10
fired. I don't like the correlation that that you're making here, but that
4:18
is a benefit. So speaking of seeing things, Alfay, I'm like I
4:25
said, I'm I'm positive you saw this. Uh, your friend, our
4:29
friend Jessica, but really really your friend Jessica, my work wife, yeah,
4:33
or work wife, because neither of us work for that company anymore.
4:36
But yeah, true, but but she stopped working there before we did.
4:40
H I saw it was her. I think it was her birthday yesterday or
4:44
today? Yeah? Did did you get her anything? Because you know,
4:47
I know how good at giving gifts you are I did not. I took
4:50
her up to dinner though, but oh that's nice. Yeah, I didn't.
4:54
I didn't get her or anything though, because I don't know, like
4:56
you know, she she I don't know what would I get, Jessica if
5:01
I had to get her, like a nice, nice gift, you get
5:04
that woman a ring. I've been telling you for years to wife her.
5:09
She she is your soulmate? Is she you sure? Yes? We don't
5:13
send that much time together? I mean we did it? Or she okay?
5:15
I'm going to ask you some very very simple, straightforward questions to find
5:18
out if this woman is, in fact you're a soul mate. Are you
5:20
okay? Sure? Go for it? Uh? Is she a woman?
5:25
Yes? Are you? Is she attractive? She is? Jessica's very okay.
5:30
Does she spend time with you willingly? She does? Marry her?
5:34
I don't know. I don't know what other minimums you're looking for here,
5:38
but I mean, that's that's a gut a that's a that's a better start
5:41
than anyone else that you've come across lately. And she's also a hell of
5:46
a leg wrestler. She is. She beat me in leg wrestling that one
5:48
time. Dre Are you intrigued about this, about this princess that clearly as
5:57
the attention of Alfie. Yeah, and clearly some quality thigh strength. Yes,
6:01
she does do her squats. Um, Jessica, I mean she she's
6:09
okay. I don't want to feed into this dumb bit, but she's made
6:12
the same sort of joke that Dan has before, where it's like, oh,
6:15
we should totally get married Alphie, and I'm like, okay, thanks.
6:17
I just I don't know, I just don't see it working out.
6:20
Maybe it's just me. How how old is she? Yeah, yeah,
6:25
she's she's younger than me. Okay. Are there are there any red flags?
6:30
Uh? No, jess likes to spend time with Alphie. That's true.
6:31
That's horrible. What kind of psycho does that? No? No,
6:38
no, yeah, that's a that's a big red flag. Uh. Jessica
6:42
and I are are compatible. I just don't want I don't want to test
6:45
it, you know what I mean. I don't want to risk it.
6:46
I don't want to risk what I've got with Jessica right now in the hopes
6:50
that it might, you know, be something more, because that's very high
6:54
risk, very high reward, and it is not a gambling man like that,
6:59
So you'd rather play her more like the stock market correct uh, losing
7:04
more of an index fund guy versus a blue chip gag. Yes, wait
7:09
what so so you get along? You enjoy spending time with her. She
7:15
likes you, she spends time with you willingly. Yeah, and has made
7:24
a statements saying that you know that she would like some kind of future with
7:28
you. No, not like that. It's there's a distinct difference between oh
7:31
my god, we're just made for each other and oh my god, you
7:35
always know what what to say to cheer me up. We should totally get
7:39
married, yeah, Alphie. I typically, especially women don't joke about marriage.
7:47
If it comes out of their mouth, it's whether they potted off as
7:51
humorous or not. They're they're planning a seed. There m a seed.
7:58
Yes, yeah, are inviting you too. I like that. I as
8:11
much as I think that would be a fun thing to pursue, I just
8:16
don't want to. I mean it, just like I said, it's too
8:16
high risk, and I, uh, what's the risk the risk is?
8:22
Jessica's like, oh, well, I don't like you like that, so
8:26
I'm just gonna go to the exactly. But how about go ahead, tray.
8:33
She likes hanging out with you, Mum. Do you hang out with
8:37
her on a regular basis? Not that often because you know, our schedules
8:43
are you know, divergent. Does she make attempts to hang out with you?
8:48
Yes? Okay, so she puts in the effort to spend time with
8:52
you, and you don't want to reciprocate, You don't want No, I
8:58
do reciprocate. I I try and schedule time with her too, when it's
9:03
convenient for you. So you don't want to make any sacrifices, you know,
9:05
you just are you trying to ruin this marriage before it's even started.
9:11
Trade, I'm just saying clearly, you're not taking you know, you're taking
9:13
her. Yeah, for granted, uh No, I genuinely appreciate Jessica,
9:22
but I think that that Dan's prodding and now you're prodding and Jessica's jokes are
9:28
not what you build a relationship on. I mean, if Jessica and I
9:31
started spending more and more and more and more time together and it's like,
9:35
hey, we should maybe try this out, then maybe, but outside of
9:39
some sort of hilarious rom com style, Hey, if we're not married,
9:43
by the time we both hit forty or something like that. Did did I
9:48
send you my note? No? Is that where you're trying to plan with
9:52
us? Yes, I think that's exactly what you should do, and not
9:54
because it's it's some romcom trope, but in reality, because this actually kind
10:01
of solves the problem that you have with trying to pursue her as something more
10:05
than friends, which is and she and she's and she's joking about it saying,
10:09
oh my god, yeah, no, exactly what to say, we
10:11
should just totally get married. Serious, what you do? You're single?
10:13
She's single? Is she single right now? Yeah? I think so?
10:16
Okay, So no pressure, there's no pressure on anything. No, no,
10:20
no pressure on anything. Right now. You both agree that you know
10:24
you you're both are getting you know, closer to forty. So do that
10:28
you use the landmark of forty and yes, steal it straight from a romantic
10:31
comedy and say, if we are both single at the age of forty,
10:37
then you don't necessarily have to say, fine, let's get married, but
10:39
you can at least propose that you pursue something romantics like you know what,
10:45
we've we've been friends now because by the time you guys are forty, You
10:48
guys will probably have been friends for what ten fifteen years? Yeah? About
10:52
then maybe it's time to find out if there's you know, some some sparks
10:58
there, you know, basically when to turn forty half sex and then find
11:01
out if there's anything worth building. Y'all are just all about forcing this,
11:05
aren't you? This is not forcing. There's no forcing, alvie. Have
11:11
y'all ever gone out and like had drinks together? Um, like drinks in
11:15
like a romantic sense or just let's just go hang out and have drinks.
11:18
Have you ever gotten drunk with her? Actually? Have I? I've gotten
11:24
drunk alongside her when she was an employee at the station and uh, one
11:31
of our sales guys was lickering me up with yeager bombs. So it wasn't
11:37
in a traditional social sense. She was working and I was supposed to be
11:43
working. And Scott Long had other ideas. Good or will get you every
11:48
time? Why don't you take her out, like just an invite her?
11:54
Go, Hey, let's go, you know, grab a biteat, have
11:56
a couple of cocktails kind of let you know, loosen things up a little
12:01
bit and see what happens, See what happens. Yeah. Hey, did
12:13
you guys notice the weather today? It sure is weather that's outside, right,
12:16
and it does that. Yeah, the weather outside is weather. Paul
12:18
rud said it best. Let's get back to you. And uh and and
12:22
and box jump Betty, she does do box jumps good. She's a crossbeater.
12:28
And that's the other thing too, is like we both have like pretty
12:31
differing interests. That's okay, that's not a bad thing. I've i've i've
12:35
know, I knew a married couple years and years ago. One of the
12:39
things that there that was the secret to their marriage was separate vacations once a
12:43
year. Really, how did that work? Because they had sometimes they had
12:48
different interests and what they like to do with their downtime. They would take
12:52
a vacation together, but then also once a year they would take a separate
12:54
vacation because she was more of a hippie and he wanted to like play a
13:00
bunch of golf and stuff, which he had no interest in. So she
13:01
would go meditate in the woods somewhere for a week and then you know,
13:05
he played thirty six holes every damn day. Does she like the same things
13:11
you do? Like anime and comic con and stuff. Well that's my point.
13:18
Okay, Well that's fine. You Dan's right, you can each have
13:20
separate interest, but then you know, enjoy hearing, you know, enjoying
13:26
seeing the enjoy on top of one another on occasion. Yeah. So,
13:33
anyway, this couple that you were discussing, Dan, um, what was
13:37
there? When he does straight it gets a little too close to home and
13:41
he and he's it's it's it's too uncomfortable, so he pushes it away.
13:45
What did I hear my doorbell ring? Oh? I got I'll be back
13:48
in thirty minutes. Guys, there's no doorbell unless unless the person at the
13:52
doors Jessica with a bunch of white signs telling you how she feels. What
14:00
movie is in that chair? Love? Love? Actually? Okay? Oh
14:03
oh, shut up, Siri. What was serious saying? Is serious saying
14:11
YouTube need to go out with Jessica? No, i'd like I don't like
14:18
these things. No, no, like I said, I will fully admit
14:20
that, I just don't want to risk it is not worth risking. What
14:24
risk losing any friendship that I have with Jessica over the potential exactly, over
14:31
the potential of being uh something more? What if and hear me out,
14:37
what if? What if Trey asked her out? Uh, you're not allowed
14:43
to do that, Tray, Ah, why not? Ah? Just don't.
14:48
She sounds lovely, okay, takes see, takes good care of herself.
14:56
She is entertaining friendly, very much like the leg wrestle. Yeah,
15:05
m hm, so you know, if you're not going to take your shot,
15:09
somebody else will. Yeah. And hey, if that's the way that
15:13
you know it plays out, it plays out that way. But Tray specifically,
15:16
it's not allowed to Why not because bro code You guys don't know each
15:26
other that well, Yeah, bro code only applies like if you've actually dated
15:35
her. Bro code just just because you're just because just because you want to
15:41
be in the friend zone doesn't mean everyone else should have to be. No,
15:43
No, it's just I'm I'm not saying I want to be in the
15:46
friend zone. I just don't even I don't think in that in those terms,
15:50
Trey. I'm not like, oh, well, if Jessica is not,
15:52
you know, actively boning me, then I'm you know, she's of
15:56
no use to me. And Nah, I don't think like that. I
16:00
think Jessica somebody's fun to be around. She is somebody that I enjoy her
16:04
company. And you know, if something blossoms over the course of time,
16:11
that's fine. If it doesn't, that's also fine. I Am not going
16:14
to try and force it one way or the other. What if what if
16:18
that relationship were to blossom because Trey, you know, went out with her
16:21
and just you know, ruined her and she needed a shoulder to cry on.
16:27
M as Trey is known to do. That is true. That's that's
16:32
what they call him traumatic Trey. You know, look, I don't know
16:36
Tray of Uptown. Well, I mean it's Jessica short on money because I
16:41
mean Tray Tray's got plenty. He likes to share. Oh that's true.
16:45
You know, Trey, I am single too. And if you're single and
16:48
I'm single and you've got money, I mean, force the issue with a
16:52
friend as long as it's Tray, It's exactly, and I get a PS
16:56
five out of it. You know what, love, guys, Love is
17:03
love. You guys knock you guys, just knock each other out, exactly.
17:06
Love is love. And I haven't played the New God of War yet.
17:14
Listening to the Treehouse visit goes online A Treehouse on air dot com,

17:55
Good afternoon, Rodney. What what What's movie did you get today?
18:00
The yogurt delay? Oh, that is a good one. I was a
18:03
sucker for the chocolate peanut butter. That's me all right. So enough with
18:07
smoothies. Let's talk now about some of the unique options you have available for
18:11
people, specifically when it comes to home buying and of course refinancing. Can
18:15
you share with us an example or two where you've been able to help some
18:19
people? Absolutely? So. I've got a client right now that's buying a
18:22
one point four million dollar house. They're putting six hundred thousand dollars down,
18:27
but they're self employee. They don't report enough income to get a regular loan,
18:33
but they have great bank statements. So we're doing a bank statement only
18:37
loan for them, and so it couldn't get a loan before we're able to
18:41
get them loans. We have wonderful programs for people that don't fit in the
18:45
perfect box. Now, you do have to have good to excellent credit,
18:49
you have to have large stale payments when it comes to people buying homes.
18:52
But Dan, we have some wonderful opportunities. Let me share with another client.
18:57
We have a client that wants to buy investment property. They're buying in
19:02
for four hundred and fifty thousand. They are self employed as well. They're
19:06
putting twenty five percent down. We're doing a bank statement only loan for them
19:10
as well. So we have lots of options that are available for people that
19:14
are self employed that may not fit into that perfect box. But you do
19:18
have to have good to excellent credit, you have to have a money down,
19:22
and we recommend people pick up the phone and give us a call if
19:26
you think your situation doesn't fit in that perfect box. Yeah, that's one

21:03
a chance to really cover it last week because you know, Steve Nova Yellow
21:07
has a tendency to take up all the time. But I was curious.
21:12
You said you got something new and you were excited to tell us about it.
21:15
So I figured now as good a time as any, mainly because you
21:18
know, Nova Yellow's not here to talk up a storm. I don't know
21:21
if I'm excited to tell you guys about it or not, but I had
21:22
to get something new, and I don't know that I'm all that pleased with
21:26
it. Last week, I am. I washed my wallet like it was
21:36
accidentally in my pants and went to the wash cycle and dry and I take
21:41
my pants out of the dryer and I pull out my wallet and it's still
21:44
damp, and everything in there's damp as hell. And I've got to you
21:48
know, my insurance cards ruined, and now I gotta go print another one
21:52
out. And I set my wallet aside to dry, right, and uh,
22:00
couple hours go by, I like kind of open it up and make
22:03
it like a little tent or something like that. And I said it on
22:06
the counter, and a couple hours go by and I walked by the wallet
22:10
and it just smells. It smells bad, It smells fishy. It's an
22:15
old wallet. It's probably god, I don't know, ten yeah, I
22:21
guess ten years old. It lasted me a long, long time, decent
22:25
quality wallet. How is it that you washed the wallet and it and it
22:29
came out smelling terrible. I don't know. It was something with like the
22:33
interior lining or the leather, or maybe it's just the fact that it's just
22:36
so old, but it smells. It's awful. It's been next to your
22:38
ass for ten years. Yeah, there's a there's a distinct possibility it's picked
22:42
up a little bit of sweat. You know. I typically when we list
22:48
when we list this show on podcast platforms, I don't typically list it as
22:52
a you know, as a crime podcast. But I mean when you when
22:56
you solve, when you solve a case like trade just it, I think
23:00
we kind of have to know that's that's informative. It's what it is.
23:03
This is science and informative podcast. Right now, speaking of science and informative
23:08
and washed wallet. When you washed the wallet were your card like credit cards
23:14
and things in their debit card? Yeah, credit cards side, okay,
23:17
so that doesn't ruin the chip card inside there. I was just curious.
23:22
Nope, good to go. I've used them since then, and in fact,
23:26
for like three or four days, I was walking around with just my
23:29
credit cards wrapped in a rubber band, and that was my wallet for a
23:33
few days. I printed out a new insurance card, got my license,
23:37
my LTC, my credit cards and just kind of wrapped a rubber band around
23:41
it and was good to go. My Costco card too. But um,
23:45
I ended up getting a new wallet pretty quickly there after. Once I realized
23:49
my old one was stinking. I just tossed it in the trash and said
23:52
farewell, thank you for your service, wallet yest, and sent it off
24:00
down the river. Um but the new wallet that I got, who was
24:06
your wallet named Moses? I don't know. I don't know. How do
24:10
how do like naval burials at sea work? Just salute and this kind of
24:14
shove them off the ship? I don't get, or maybe do the give
24:18
your wallet a Viking funeral? Yes, like Darth Vader or something on a
24:22
pyre? But um, so you sent moses away. Got a new wallet,
24:30
Yes, got a new wallet? Sent uh sent the old one away
24:34
the new wallet. It's great, it's nice. It's nice, like soft
24:38
supple leather. It's is there new wallet technology these days? It's been a
24:44
while since I've purchased one. Funny you mentioned that, Oh, I um,
24:49
I got the RFID protector wallet right. Oh, And I thought,
24:56
like, you know, I've got a couple of chip cards that, like
24:59
the wavy just wave in front of the thing and it charges you. I
25:02
figure i'll protect them. There's RFIDs and licenses now you know, passports have
25:07
them. I'll get the RFID protecting wallet. This damn thing is loud.
25:12
It is a loud ass wallet. How was a wallet loud? It's loud.
25:18
The material that the RFID protecting stuff is made out of, it's like
25:23
metallic wrapped fibers or something like that, or it's a metallic fiber. So
25:29
what you end up with is like a nylon that's just extra loud. Do
25:33
you remember, like five or six years ago, Friedo Lay put out a
25:38
new bag for sun chips. There were supposedly like more biodegradable, supposedly was
25:45
able to be you know, composted that kind of thing, and it was
25:49
but I'll go with it. It was a loud ass bag. We got
25:53
him at the radio station. They send him up there and and we opened
25:56
it up and it was just incredibly loud. It was this metallic sounding almost
26:00
clang whenever you can touch the bag. It was weird. Man, That's
26:07
the only thing I can relate this wallet too. You guys want to hear
26:10
it? Yeah, yes, that's my wallet. That's the inside of my
26:15
wallet where the cash goes. This is me just opening and closing it.
26:25
That is weird. It's loud. It's so loud. My wallet makes zero
26:30
noise. Yeah, my old one, same thing. It's very silent,
26:33
very stealthy. If I'm ever on some sort of secret mission for the CIA
26:38
and I've got to infiltrate some bass and and they're like, we need to
26:41
pick this door with your cousco card, Alfie and does your cousco card and
26:47
I open it up my wallet and goes, we're all getting shot. We
26:52
are all dead. See I Hey, Black Ops team dead because my's gonna
26:57
tell the president, why the why the failed loud wallet, sir. I
27:06
can't believe this crap. We gotta give these guys some better wallets, wallet
27:08
silencers. I just I don't know. This wallet has everything I need except
27:15
for a suppressor. It's really nice wallet. Like I said, it's soft,
27:19
supple leather. I even got the the the what's it called embossing option
27:26
on the wallet to where it says ac it's nice cool breeze exactly air conditioning.
27:33
But have you developed some kind of complex about this, like are you
27:37
are you hesitant to whip it out in public? Kind of yeah, because
27:41
it's so freaking loud, which is kind of interesting because usually alfie seeks attention,
27:48
so in this case for the wallet, if it's that loud, someone
27:52
is going to think, Wow, this guy has a really loud wallet.
27:56
Either it's empty and that's his way of audibly asked for money, or it's
28:02
a loud wallet because he's trying to show off to everybody around him. Look
28:06
at all the money I have inside. I don't carry cash, like I've
28:10
got an Apple Watch, I got Apple Pay. I don't. I hardly
28:14
know anyone that carries cash these days, But I just I am self conscious
28:21
about it now, Thank you, Trey. It's just weird because I've never
28:25
had a wallet that's made any noise before in the past. I did.
28:32
It was my Ocean Pacific wallet, and they've made noise because it had velcro.
28:36
The velcro, yes, I think I was ten. It comes with
28:41
a little like I D Carrier two. We put your driver's license or your
28:44
you know whatever in their business cards and it's loud too year that oh,
28:52
maybe maybe you're making too much out of it, me making too much out
28:56
of something small and and significant. This does not sounded like me. No,
29:00
never, not alfie, not not all ac cool breeze. I mean
29:08
you should. You should get an outside opinion of what you know that bad.
29:15
That's why I'm asking y'all. But we're not with you like I mean,
29:22
but you know here, you should. You should call up a friend
29:25
and invite them to dinner or something and see what they think of the wallet
29:30
when they collect their ears on someone I could invite. Um. If only
29:37
there was someone you could invite to check the the decibel level of your loud
29:42
wallet, someone who likes spending time with you and maybe even dropped hints about
29:48
also wanting to be near your ass. Ah Steve Noviello. Yes, I'll
29:53
call him up and say let's go have dinner. For the record, if
29:56
we had traffic during this show, the next traffic accident would have been Steve
30:02
Nova Yellow driving into it. The smear the smear on that retaining wall on
30:11
the tollway was Steve Nova Yellow hearing on the treehouse. How supposedly he wanted
30:17
to be near Alphie Koy's adds, Oh god, well, you know what,
30:26
Alphie, You're not the only one that has something loud. First of
30:29
all, it is kind of loud, is it? That? Is it
30:30
that bad? Ed? It's probably fine. I mean, I'm hoping that
30:33
with time it'll kind of like wear in kinda and get less loud. But
30:41
I don't know. I just feel like, if you guys are out hunting
30:44
for new wallets, just know that if you buy the RFID protecting option,
30:48
it's gonna be loud. Gotcha. You know what you could do? You
30:52
should actually call Nova Yellow one to see if he's okay, and two to
30:56
see as a consumer reporter four Fox four see if he recommends a good wallet
31:02
for you that doesn't make a lot of noise. Honestly, I go to
31:04
him for most recommendations on stuff like that because he's got experienced people will send
31:11
him all sorts of stuff and he can test drive all different things. Test
31:15
drive. Really, yeah, that's what he does. If there's any connotation
31:21
that's being put on that, Dan, that's you. That's you and your
31:22
filthy mind putting connotations on it. No, I'm just saying. We just
31:26
talked about how we probably ran into a you know, a concrete barrier on
31:30
the tollway from hearing about being near your ass. And you're saying that he's
31:34
test driving things. All of a sudden, teams kind of soon after such
31:37
a horrible accent that he's fine, he might be dying. Laughter at the
31:42
idea. All right, So I actually have something as well that makes noise
31:48
make you feel a little bit better. I don't know, it has been
31:51
a while since we've done that and done this, and I'm not even sure
31:53
if Trey has ever done this. Trey, have you ever played What's in
31:56
the Box? Oh? God, no, I have not. It's it's
32:00
Dan's way of opening mail. Dan opens mail and he has to have some
32:04
pomp and circumstance with it, as opposed to just going, hey, look
32:07
it's mail, and you open it and then it's all about presentation like look
32:12
like look, look, look, look it's mail. I got mail,
32:15
alright, get mail? Yes, I got I got a box. Alfie,
32:20
I have a box. I see I have a box. Play the
32:23
intro, hold ony thing. It's no fun without it. Good. What's
32:36
in the box? What's it's right? Thank you Brad Pitt for asking the
32:44
important questions. What is in the box? I'm going to shows? Uh,
32:47
this is actually I don't know what is actually in here in this box,
32:52
but I do know who who it's from. This is actually from my
32:54
father in law, which could be interesting. Okay, he doesn't use give
33:00
me things, so I'm immediately suspicious. Where is this not a bad thing?
33:04
This doesn't live on the beach any like in like an RV camper,
33:07
like roam the beach like a beach coasting guy he normally is, but since
33:13
it's warmer now, he's he's traveled up north with the rest of the waterfowl
33:17
and he's landed in Michigan for for a bit. God dang, hey,
33:22
that's what happens when you sell your house. You sell your property and you
33:25
get a kick ass you know, trailer, and you drive around places and
33:29
then you just you do cool things like you find something and send it to
33:32
your son in law. But going from like like the beach, like whether
33:37
it's Florida or the Gulf Coast or West Coast to Michigan. Huh, that's
33:42
not too drastic of like a climate change. You know what I mean?
33:45
You're not just not when you get a girlfriend. Okay, that's why.
33:49
Yeah, you should try it. Yeah, it sounds like it's going great
33:52
for you to trade. By the way, how's your skin moist? Yeah?
33:59
Had able? Hell yeah? You you hold out, Drey. You
34:02
hold out to find a woman who actually appreciates a good moist body and face.
34:08
All right, so here's the mes. Let's see what's in here.
34:13
Plastic Okay, plastic is bad, you know, near the ocean. But
34:15
okay, there's lots of plastic. More plastic and lots of plastic all right,
34:22
plastic wrapped around something. See what this is? Okay, it's a
34:30
lot of plastic. Jesus, Dad, you call your your father in law
34:36
dad? Sometimes does he call you son? He has a couple of times.
34:42
It was sweet. Oh this is interesting. M Now we can see
34:52
each other on camera, right, yeah, but listeners can't. So I
34:57
can. I can milk. This for for a very short moment. Okay,
35:00
let me get this plastic out of the way from the camera, out
35:05
of the way. I'm off the microphone. This is very sweet on one
35:13
hand, so clearly my father in law is supportive and has been listening to
35:19
the show, and one of their common themes we've talked about on the show
35:22
was finding a liquor bottle with a good cork noise. Right, Oh,
35:27
what did he send you? So he sent me a liquor bottle with a
35:35
really with a possibility of being a great coorse? Is that is that angel?
35:37
Oh? It's Woodford Reserve. Yeah. Do you also notice the other
35:42
interesting thing about this whiskey bottle that has supposedly a cool cork. It's empty.
35:47
Ain't got no whiskey, it's empty. That's son of a bitch,
35:52
drank the whiskey and send me the bottle. First of all, that's extremely
35:57
kind, Dan, And you're being a very very rude gift receiver right now.
36:01
No, he drank the whiskey. What is it legal for him to
36:07
send whiskey over you know, state lines. He's done lots of illegal things
36:10
in front of me. Why should he all of a sudden start caring.
36:15
It's a very kind gift. Uh, Papa, Papa Tear's dad, Um,
36:22
it's it's the Christmas edition bottle. Look on the back it even says
36:24
Merry Christmas. Wait does this mean this is also my Christmas present this year?
36:35
Damn their Damn the Marines and their and their ability to adapt and overcome.
36:39
Try it out the cork, yeah, I guess yeah, because I
36:45
can't try the whiskey. Hang on, Okay, it's got the pomp part,
36:51
but I don't hear it's there. Okay, a little squeak, all
36:53
right, it's not bad. It's not bad. Yeah, it would help
36:57
if it was moist, and you know that's true. It swells a little
37:00
bit and it makes more noise. Making sure we're still talking about the bottle,
37:05
right, whatever the problem with with Woodford Reserve is is it's just it's
37:15
a decent cork, but you need a quirk with a nice wide diameter.
37:20
It's about like the mouth opening of the bottle and the cork diameter. Like,
37:25
trust me, I've done way too much research into this crap. Because
37:29
we had a limited number of gentlemen jack bottles and we went through all of
37:34
them they were all either dried out, worn down, beat up, reassembled,
37:40
repurposed, and we had to find replacements. And so I am if
37:45
there is an expert on cork sounds in bottles, it's me, sir.
37:52
I have a six year a chip that I'd like to disagree with you on
37:55
that. What's what's your preference? Trey that is strong, Trey that's very
38:14
strong, has one compelling argument? What was my favorite? Um Knob Creek
38:23
has a good one. You have to find the one. Later bottles though,
38:27
are the one point seventy five. I've always always been a fan of
38:30
the OGD one seventeen or one fourteen, whatever the f it is. And
38:36
right here I got Isaac Bowman. That's a good one. Mm hm.
38:45
That's Isaac Bowman a bottle of liquor. Not just some dude name Isaac.
38:47
No Isaac. Yeah, I kicked him out the other day. Get out
38:51
of here. He's one of them guys like in space Balls that can make
38:54
the funny noises. That's the name of the guy from Police Academy. It's
39:00
Michael Winslow. Yeah. Why are you being such a such an awful gift
39:07
receiver? Dan, I'm not I really do appreciate it, but I I
39:12
I he gave me a hint and he had said, He's like, hey,
39:15
I sent you something, but you may need to wet the cork a
39:19
little now. Now I know why he said that, because he drank the
39:22
whiskey but just sent me in the bottle. How much did it cost him
39:27
to send that? I'm not sure the whiskey cost thirty nine ninety nine though
39:34
it's a tag on there. But he had to pay for it to,
39:42
you know, be transported from you know where, from Michigan, I guess
39:46
to whatever island you're on. Yeah, Saint Thomas, what are you gonna
39:51
send him back? Because now you gotta now you gotta return the favor.
39:52
You gotta give him a gift back. Mm hmm. What if I just
40:00
sent him some whiskey but no bottle, just a soaked envelope, You may
40:09
you may need to wet this a little bit. Upon receiver. You're in
40:15
the treehouse, visit us online at Treehouse OnAir dot com. Let's welcome in
40:37
Jacqueline from Brooks Plumbing Texas dot com. That's Brooks Plumbing Texas dot com.
40:42
Their phone number for any and all of your plumbing needs. Here in the
40:45
treehouse is two one four three six eight thirty eight thirty eight. That's two
40:49
one four three six eight thirty eight thirty eight. So today, Jacqueline,
40:52
I was wondering if you could give you, if you could give me an
40:54
example of a service that you provide at Brooks Plumbing that maybe most people don't
41:00
realize. So we provide tankless water heater flushing. Now let me explain that
41:08
to you. It's not a surprise. Most companies probably offer it, but
41:14
nobody advertises it, not that I'm aware of, at least. And the
41:16
reason why it's important is because you get all these big companies that want to
41:21
sell you a tankless water heater because they promise you that you will never run
41:24
out of hot water, which it's true for the most part, you shouldn't
41:28
run out. But what they don't tell you, or forget sometimes to tell
41:31
you, is that if you don't get that tankless flushed with this special chemical
41:36
once every twelve to eighteen months, it'll build up in scale, it'll fail,
41:40
you'll have to replace it, or you'll have to pay hundreds or thousands
41:45
of dollars to get it fixed. And so you know if you want a
41:47
tankless water heater, let whoever sell it to you, but don't forget to
41:51
get it flushed. It's like two hundred and fifty dollars a year, and
41:53
it'll prevent you from having to replace the entire thing when it just stops working
41:58
all of a sudden one day. And it's again something that they don't tell
42:00
you. If you don't believe me, google it. Do I need to
42:02
flush my tankless water heater. And that's kind of something that people are also
42:07
upselling on the backside, the tank style water heater. When I've gotten my
42:10
house wink gwink, hint, hint, I'm not you know, I like
42:14
the tank style. You don't have to flush those anymore. That's kind of
42:16
a misnomer. They're self cleaning nowadays. So don't let anybody sell you a
42:21
flush that you don't mean. But don't let anybody purposefully not tell you that
42:24
you need to flush the other thing so it fails prematurely so that you can
42:29
spend even more money with them. Do your due diligence, work with somebody
42:31
who will tell you the truth. That's the goal, and you can do
42:36
that simply by calling Brooks Plumbing two one four, three six, eight thirty
42:39
eight thirty eight. Fantastic information to have, and if you have one of
42:44
those tankless water heaters, that's excellent information to put to use. So any

serving all of DFW Brooks Plumbing Texas dot Com. Uh. Yes, alfhae.
45:14
I am very curious about your running with wildlife, but I did have
45:17
one other thing to open. Uh for What's in the box? You don't
45:22
need to play the thing already? Did it? Really? No? Now
45:25
I want to play it, Dan, Now I want to play well.
45:27
No, I figured you'd be interested in this because it actually is from my
45:30
neurologist. Oh well, well, you can't have your your your brain scan
45:36
results open without the what's in the box? Thing? Dan? All in,
45:38
fine? Play it well now I don't want to play it. Fine,
45:42
I was hoping the envelopes. Now I want to play it. Hold
45:45
on, I have pulled it up for the first time. I gotta use
45:47
it again. Good? What's in the box? What's in the box?
46:00
Here? We are These are the results where we could find out how brain
46:04
damaged you are from years of football and hitting yourself in the head with that
46:10
that rubber band thingy. Yeah, let's not explain all that. But some
46:17
of some of the some of some of my head trauma has been self inflicted,
46:21
but a lot of things were also not self inflicted. It was other
46:23
people's fault. I don't think that I don't know what this is. I
46:28
don't think it's necessarily any results because when I went last month, when I
46:32
was in town for our road show, I went to the doctor and it
46:37
was basically just like a you know, a consultation. Was the first time
46:38
I've met this neurologist, and it was more of like a Okay, let's
46:44
you know, look at you and ask you some stuff and do like a
46:46
little quick physical exam. He was supposed to refer me to a like an
46:52
imaging place to get an actual brain scan, you know, and then maybe
46:58
depending on what that found, also a longer form battery of testing. So
47:05
I'm not exactly sure what this is. It shouldn't it better not be a
47:07
bill because already paid him for that visit. So Texas and neurology something Sara,
47:15
Dear patience, I am writing to inform you that I will be closing
47:19
my prize. Oh god, is it me? I I go in for
47:39
a consultation with a neurologist to see if I have, you know, brain
47:43
damage, and he decides to quit. Is he going to jail? No?
47:52
Hang you, no, don't let me. It wasn't me in the
47:55
other case either. I am writing to inform you that I will be closing
48:01
my private practice on in June and moving to a hospital role. Oh so
48:09
grateful for years of working with wonderful patients in a field that I love.
48:14
I only met you only met him once. That's good, though, because
48:16
I mean you can still see him. He's just in the hospital now.
48:21
Yeah. Well that means if I see him, it is mainly going to
48:23
be because I'm there on an emergency basis. No, I mean you can
48:27
uh maybe see him otherwise. Still, this also explains why I didn't get
48:34
my actual referral to the imaging place. Did he just not do it?
48:39
What? Uh? When? Yeah? He don't care about my brain?
48:45
And if that guy, I gotta find another neurologist. Yeah, anyway,
48:55
tell me about your running with wildlife. Yeah, I'm sorry to hear about
48:59
your brain. Let's talk about goats pooping. Have either of you guys ever
49:05
seen a goat poop? Yeah? Yes, yeah, really, I mean
49:10
at different points in our lives. Trey and I both grew up in the
49:14
country. Yeah, I had never seen a goat poop until yesterday. What
49:20
you do? There was a There is actually a goat farm in Garland.
49:25
I don't know if you guys know about this as a goat farm in Garland.
49:28
It's this family that just has a goat farm and you can go out
49:30
there and feed the goats. And one of my friends for their birthday,
49:34
we're like, hey, let's just go to like a petting zoo, and
49:37
we picked this goat farm and we go out there and it's just straight up
49:40
a little property on the side of the road inside of a residential neighborhood and
49:45
you honk your horn, the goats come up and you can just feed them
49:49
and they have guidelined. H's playing fast and loose with those ccnrs untry.
49:52
Oh yeah, is that a real joke. I gotta google CCNR no better,
50:00
did clear Wattle. If you ever lived in a house that was in
50:04
an HLA, you'd understand. Okay, So the family's had this property forever
50:09
and ever in a bunch of houses popped up around them, and they've got
50:12
goats there, and they say, hey, you can come out and feed
50:15
the goats. So we, me and a couple of friends go out there
50:16
and we take some celery and some carrots and feed these goats. Right,
50:21
just a fun little Oh. Look, it's like a petting zoo. But
50:22
you know, just goats. Ain't got no little piggies, ain't got no
50:28
you know whatever. It's just goats. Just a goat farm. Yep.
50:31
And there were some cute little baby goats. There was some you know,
50:36
mid sized goats. There's some old ass goats out there too. Is this
50:39
like one of those places you can go to do goat yoga? Do they
50:42
do any of that new stuff or just go to feed the goats? It's
50:45
just go to feed the goats and the goats are trained. Go ahead.
50:49
Do they have any feinting goats? They do not. I was curious about
50:52
that too, But no, it's there's not much to it. It's just
50:55
a goat farm where they let you feed the goats. They're like, yeah,
51:00
we'll take your free produce. Just no chocolate. That's it. That's
51:04
the only guideline, all right, any of them, scream along to Taylor
51:07
Swift. No, No, they were actually very well behaved. But they're
51:12
goats, so they do goat things like they'll ram each other. I saw
51:16
two baby goats nursing on a mama goat's teats, and these little a holes
51:23
they'd latch onto a teat and they'd ram her while they were suckling. Oh
51:29
my god, like like like like they would headbut the utter. Yes.
51:32
Oh, After like two or three times, mama goat decides now I'm good.
51:37
She just kind of steps on him and walks away. And that's the
51:44
way you parent exactly, the just misbehaving. So mama goat just says,
51:46
nope, detached, get off and kick him across the yard. These goats
51:53
that they Among the things they did, we were pooping. Now. I
51:58
had never seen a goat pooping until yesterday, So you guys may be very
52:01
very well versed in this, but I was unaware a what goat poop looked
52:07
like, which it's very kind of round and pellety like, looks like kind
52:10
of like coffee beans or something like that. And yeah, don't put those
52:16
in your grinder. No. They I figured they came out one at a
52:21
time. I was very wrong about that. Right when I get there,
52:27
I pull up, I got on my car, and I walk over to
52:29
this fence where you can feed the goats. And there's an older goat standing
52:32
there where its butt facing towards the roadway and this like this portal opens up
52:40
on the backside of this goat. And I say portal because it's not just
52:45
like a bee hole where like things getting extruded out. No, this is
52:50
like an eye opening, a giant like three opening, and these coffee beans
52:59
start pouring out, not one, not one at a time, but multiple
53:04
at a time. They just start pouring out of this goat's rear. And
53:07
the most jacked up thing to me is the eye just starts closing and there's
53:14
still plenty of coffee beans inside. There is no end in sight to these
53:19
coffee beans. It's just how how close are you to his ass? The
53:22
goat's right by the fence, and the fence is right on the side of
53:25
the road. It was the most horrific thing I've ever seen at a petting
53:31
zoo. Like, yeah, I've been to the State Fair, I've been
53:34
in the State Fair many times. I've been to petting zoos. As a
53:36
kid, I had never seen this happening. It was terrific. I'm just
53:39
